Netizens Have Coined A Hindi Term For Social Distancing And We Are LOL-ing

The lockdown has sure introduced us to tonnes of creative minds on social media. Locked inside the house in complete isolation, people are resorting to all avenues of entertainment to survive it. From hilarious memes, to nominating your friends for fun Instagram challenges, to watching the craziest Tik Tok videos, anything that it takes to kill time.

And, of all the jokes we came across on the internet during the quarantine, the latest discovery about social distancing is gold. Do you know the Hindi word for it? It’s ‘Tan-doori’! Yes, you got the pun, right? ‘Tan’ meaning body, and ‘Doori’ for distance! And we can’t stop LOLing!

News anchor Rajdeep Sardesai recently took to Twitter and shared a post about the latest Hindi word for social distancing, netizens have come up with. His tweet read, “The remarkable humour and creativity of Indians even in tough times is a standout. So what's the Hindi word for ‘social distancing’ folks? Ans: TAN-DOORI! (by the way, our leaders do need to find a way to create a Hindi/regional adaptation to all corona related angrezi words)”

And so on. While we know, this might disappoint a lot of Tandoori Chicken lovers out there but we can’t deny it’s a great pun! We need more such hilarious word puns to keep us entertained and help us battle through the lockdown.
